I bought the GRP live session album as a fragile teen in the mid-80's. What really IMHO makes this a serious fusion album, is the incredible groove, set by Abe Laboriel & Carlos Vega. Of course, there's a variety of great musicians, but these two guys do bring this session to the next level. :)
Carlos didn't just have great feel but he had an innate ability to place hits with his bass drum and toms within the music to enhance, not distract from it or the groove. His taste and musicianship was peerless.
Yes. One of the best drummers ever, such good taste!... Even me, being from Portugal, I had the privilege of seeing him live in concert with James Taylor, in Lisbon, 1992. What a shame that he left us so soon...
Wow, just had my 1st listen of this.. What a Jazz Classic.. Regardless of genre, be it smooth, Latin or Fusion.. Looks like these guys were able to break the mold.. At least a bit. The music created in this recording, because the players are so sophisticated.. But yet nobody seems to try to steal the show.. Totally unselfish, and motivated to the beauty of the overall sound. So much more musically enjoyable than many modern smooth band bus riders.
Y que me dicen del Bajista (Bass Master) de Abraham Laboriel, orgullosamente Mexicano...........top 3 bajista del mundo...........pero en si todos son unos genios y maestros musicos..............un deleite para nuestros oidos al ver y escuchar tanto talento!!!............saludos Razita desde Mty. Mexico!!
The whole concert is awesome, but the performance of “Oasis” is mindblowing! What a track. What a marvellous performance by these wonderful musicians. I have the DVD, and I cherish it. ❤️
What a great upload! Tightest rhythm section ever, period! I was lucky enough to see them in the Netherlands, it was enchanting!! Carlos Vega, best ever!
Fantastica producción musical amigo Orlando Sánchez del Grupo presidido por Lee Ritenoy, Dave Grusin y Dave Valentín, espero vengan a Lima sería un lleno completo, saludos desde Chorrillos, Lima-Peru, que sigan los éxitos......
When the technique and the virtuosity were at the service of the music ..... the real one ..... and when the dynamics and the beautiful sound in the recordings still existed .... Good times ..
Nem sei quantas vezes assisti êsse icônico show em L.A. O adjetivo que consigo dar é magnífico; porém a interpretação de Diane Schurr para Love Dance é irretocável, de nos fazer agradecer não sermos surdos, é puro alimento a nossa alma. Essa turma de músicos reunidos sob a GRP de Grusin & Rosen foi e será sempre única. Gratidão imensa.

Helu great friends on planet earth..good recording good players....Dave n Carlos will be hearing to the great musicians they loved playing with too ...cheers
Awesome performance! Had the CD first then bought the VHS. Then bought the DVD when it came out and I still have them all three. One of my all-time top five CDs of any genre in my personal collection. Thanks for posting!
Agreed with you mr.zul.. I get bored to player in my country which try to imitate yngwie for 40 years since mid 80's,hahahaa.. Seems like they ain't listen to other genre or player.. Since i heard smooth jazz fusion & player like rit & carlton few years ago i knew & i never looking back,hehee.. Have a nice day..
Yo también lo tengo en disco laser, pero no tengo el aparato para reproducirlo... por mucha suerte tenemos el UA-cam que nos regala este show increíble para nosotros...
Estimados Cesar Caneo y Ian Nájar Rio Funk viene en la 1a parte de este concierto ya hace meses que publicaron esto ustedes pero no se si ya tienen la respuesta a su pregunta, por si no este es el link Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin and GRP All Stars Live From The Record Plant. yo compre el DVD hace algunos años y vienen ambos en el mismo disco uno por cada lado, saludos.
Now I know where L M got his ideas from. He's got a film similar to this one. Vi~a Del Mar 1994. Also Carlos Vega (drums) and Abraham Laboriel (Bass) were called in to record the Romance album. High Quality musicians.
Jup one of the best positive creative live perfomance ever recorded. Even sad songs was playing with such positive note. I can't say today there is no so talented musician any more, but today barely you can hear so creative and enjoyable music, specially in main stream, which is sad. And for people that hear this first time: There is 2 videos from the same live performance from Record Plant: You can get both on 1 DVD, called "Double Time jazz collection".

RIP Dave Valentin. Wonderful flute player.
This vid lacks nothing! It’s all here kids, pure virtuosity way past full from everyone! Off the chart cool factor and absolute joy!
Ahh, the late great Dave Valentin! i have so many of his CDs, and some vinyl. I may have spent 100+ hours listening to him, wish he lived forever!
Tears in my eyes now! All those fond memories of friends, family who are lost & gone, I Purchased this on Laser Disc '86 still like fine wine
I, too ,bought this on LD. I still have it to this day.

These cats plus Bob James, Tom Scott, were innovators in this early time period.. great video thx!
What a wonderful collection of musicians many of whom I have followed for decades.
This has got to be one of the greatest snare sounds ever recorded.
i love the sound of his whole kit.
Grandissimo Carlos Vega... Grandissimi tutti!! Bellissimo concerto
Abraham Laboriel is the man on Bass and my favorite Bass player!
Carlos Vega, Jeff Porcaro e Mike Porcaro no meu coração !!! Ivan Lins um orgulho da música Brasileira !!!
Carlos Vega on drums R.I.P.
Esto si es música, lo las defecaciones que se producen hoy día!!!!
Carlos didn't just have great feel but he had an innate ability to place hits with his bass drum and toms within the music to enhance, not distract from it or the groove. His taste and musicianship was peerless.
yeah i like that about the drummer too, very tasteful and peppy.
Yes. One of the best drummers ever, such good taste!... Even me, being from Portugal, I had the privilege of seeing him live in concert with James Taylor, in Lisbon, 1992. What a shame that he left us so soon...
Incredible yes
Peerless… not really
Jeff Porcaro and Carlos are the holy grail
@@Flornmonk Preach.
What a treasure Dave Valentin was, RIP
Carlos had such awesome feel.
agreed.. he had an awesome sound too
Carlos 🙌🏻
Ivan Lins is a master. he got so soul !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos Vega is greatly missed
May rest in peace Carlos Vega
May rest in peace Dave Valentin
Carlos Vega! Saw him live in concert with James Taylor back in Summer 1987. Together with Abe Laboriel one of the great rhythm sections.
I used to have this on laser disc and wore it out! One of my favorite jazz concert videos ever. RIP Carlos...
Great Carlos, another magic cuban musician
Fantastica producción musical amigo Orlando Sánchez del Grupo presidido por Lee Ritenoy, Dave Grusin y Dave Valentín, espero vengan a Lima sería un lleno completo, saludos desde Chorrillos, Lima-Peru, que sigan los éxitos......
Carlos Vega was a great drummer, with an exquisite musical language. Sadly he died very young.
Kind of fun to visit the way back machine of the music I loved growing up and still do!
When the technique and the virtuosity were at the service of the music ..... the real one ..... and when the dynamics and the beautiful sound in the recordings still existed .... Good times ..
Just wonderfully enchanting music.

Davidson sousa Eu gostaria de perguntar ao Ivan Lins como foi esse trabalho o clima o ensaio e tocar com o Carlos Vega !!!
@@thiagomanobatera E eu queria saber como foi tocar com o Lee Ritenour, kkkk na verdade todos aí são lendas da música mundial.
Amazing Grace is sung so good, I think that Diane Shuur can make the heavens sing with her.

34:00 that drum solo is killin'. Awesome!!!

Dave Valentin! Great sound, phrasing, and unparalleled rhythmic accuracy. He was a former timbale/percussion player, and he plays like it.
Carlos Vega, que gran baterista,
una inspiración.
When music was wonderful.
고맙습니다 동생들.
Absolutely brilliant!
BRiLLiANT!!!.........Really nice..... Thankyou.x

Abraham Laboriel and Carlos Vega, it doesn't get any better! Carlos, you're sorely missed...
Awesome to see Thomas Magnum on the flute.

Most tasteful drum solo I’ve ever heard.
Ooooh how I miss the 80s.....
Fantastic! Thank you very much!!!!!

Once in a lifetime opportunity me tinks!
Carlos Vega is awesome, but I wonder how the groove would sound if Jeff played here. Thanks for uploading! :)

Wow...Diane Schuur!! You still got the pipes dear lady....that was gorgeous! 👍👍

Em Oasis o solo de bateria do Carlos Vega me.lembrou muito Steve Gadd Mozambique
Sim o groove de cowbell Carlos Vega e Jeff Porcaro ainda fazem falta na indústria da música !!!
Dave Valentin 🇵🇷🙏🏾
I'm a number one fan of Ivan lins ,but the last seconds of the video from 48:22 to 48:51, Phil Perry 's vocal variations blew my mind!
2019!
Jup one of the best positive creative live perfomance ever recorded. Even sad songs was playing with such positive note. I can't say today there is no so talented musician any more, but today barely you can hear so creative and enjoyable music, specially in main stream, which is sad.
And for people that hear this first time:
There is 2 videos from the same live performance from Record Plant:
You can get both on 1 DVD, called "Double Time jazz collection".
Great concert !
Great music!!

Hay otro video en el que son puras canciones de Lee Ritenour, y que sale precisamente Rio Funk (es la segunda) pero no lo encuentro,
A magical time
